Virtual schools

What do we do about the technology have-nots when we are dealing with systems and services that should be open and accessible for all? I worry that we sometimes aren't seeing all of the issues that need to be addressed when we start to debate bills like these that appropriate large sums of money for relatively few students.

I truly do see the potential in creating alternative methods of reaching students, but again, there is a lot to be said for spending money on basic school needs for these students that have tangible benefits that last for more than one semester.
